In Korea, it is not satisfactory in the product design since Kansei engineering or Ergnomics is not very active and well considered. When designing a mini-component, the user's emotion was not considered well. It is typical to have a rectangular shape, dark- colored outside in a mini-component design. Therefore, the users have to select with available choice from the manufacture's traditional designs. In this study, a new smin- component was designed to be suitable for a new generation's (10 to mid-20) sensation. First of all, an ergonomic problems were investigated. And then, the survey was per- formed to consider the emotion of the new generation. After that, the new design was made to reflect the new generation's trend and preference. In addition, the high-touch (human-centered design) and human touch (the product to give a sensible satisfaction for human) concepts were added.

Today, as technology advances and market competition for products intensifies, the product design to improve customer satisfaction by accurately identifying customer needs is emerging as a very important issue for company. Accordingly, the customer-oriented or customer-centered design that maximizes customer satisfaction by grasping and analyzing customer requirements is in the spotlight as an important design theory. In this study, the customer-oriented design is defined as finding the optimal value of design variable with the maximum overall customer satisfaction while minimizing the difference in individual customer satisfaction responded to various customers from multiple product quality characteristics from the perspective of robust design. Therefore, this study presents a new method for modeling the customer preference structure as the different sets of desirability functions for multiple quality characteristics and proposes a new customer-oriented design approach by applying the desirability functions to Taguchi's robust design process to deal with multi-characteristic design problem. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated with the Kansei engineering design problem of wine glass.

In this paper, we propose an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) to implement an automated 2D avatar synthesis. The IGA technique is capable of expressing user's personality in the avatar synthesis by using the user's response as a candidate for the fitness value. Our suggested IGA method is applied to creating avatars automatically. Unlike the previous works, we introduce the concepts of 'hidden population', as well as 'primitive avatar' and 'simplified genotype', which are used to overcome the shortcomings of IGA such as human fatigue or reliability, and reasonable rates of convergence with a less number of iterations. The procedure of designing avatar models consists of two steps. The first step is to detect the facial feature points and the second step is to create the subjectively optimal avatars with diversity by embedding user's preference, intuition, emotion, psychological aspects, or a more general term, KANSEI. Finally, the combined processes result in human-friendly avatars in terms of both genetic optimality and interactive GUI with reliability.

Usability is one of the most important factors that affect customers' decision to purchase a product. Several studies have been conducted to model the relationship between the product design variables and the product usability. Since there could be hundreds of design variables to be considered in the model, a variable screening method is required. Traditional variable screening methods are based on expert opinions (Expert screening) in most Kansei engineering studies. Suggested in this study are statistical methods for screening important design variables by using the principal component regression(PCR), cluster analysis, and partial least squares(PLS) method. Product variables with high effect (PCR screening and PLS screening) or representative variables (Cluster screening) can be used to model the usability. Proposed variable screening methods are used to model the usability for 36 audio/visual products. The three analysis methods (PCR, Cluster, and PLS) show better model performance than the Expert screening in terms of $R^2$, the number of variables in the model, and PRESS. It is expected that these methods can be used for screening the product design variables efficiently.

소셜 로봇이 인간의 일상생활에 자리매김하기 위해서는 소셜 로봇의 기술적 구현과 소셜 로봇을 바라보는 인간의 심리를 함께 고려하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 소셜 로봇의 외형 디자인에 대해 소비자가 느끼는 감성에 기반하여 잠재적인 소셜 로봇 군집을 도출하고, 각 군집이 갖는 중요한 디자인적 특징 및 감성 차이를 식별 및 비교하고자 하였다. 소셜 로봇에 대해 소비자가 느끼는 감성을 측정 및 평가하기 위한 소셜 로봇 감성 프레임워크를 구축하고, 감성공학적 접근방법인 의미분별척도법에 기반해 소셜 로봇 디자인 감성을 평가하였다. 감성 평가 결과를 토대로 다차원 척도법과 K-means 군집분석을 실시하여 30개의 소셜 로봇을 4개의 군집으로 분류하였으며, 각 군집 별 디자인 요소의 특징을 확인하고, 소비자 감성을 비교 분석하였다. 각 군집 별로 도출된 디자인적 특징 및 감성 차이를 바탕으로 인간중심적 관점에서 성공적인 소셜 로봇 디자인 및 개발을 위한 전략적 방향을 제언하였다.
